I am more and more convinced that the Republicans, who tout individual freedom from government, are the most anti-freedom group I have seen in years.  To the point of being dangerous. Santorum bloviates about his faith, how babies conceived from rape are "gifts from god," and how others who choose to think and see the world differently are somehow inherently evil and should be attacked for their thought crimes. Then we have the current stellar example of the Virginia Republicans who want to suppress, and ultimately deny women's reproductive rights. According to the current crop of Republicans, the government raising taxes is an atrocious interference in your personal freedom and liberty. Having the government invade your bedroom, genitalia, and your very mind is quite acceptable.

If I can find it, I'll add a link to an interview stating that Santorum claims there is no right to privacy, and that all non-procreative sexual acts are harmful to society.  Then there's this:  He says that Democrats are an orgy of lust and homosexuality.   Other than the obvious joke of "how do I sign up?", this man is profoundly dangerous, and his followers are small minded zealots.  How did America reach this point?  Hew do we return to rationality?

I'll check that link out Sentient -- I hadn't heard that he had said that. Santorum sounds really messed up.

What we need insofar as Santorum is concerned is for someone with some gravitas in the media to call him on these statements. Bob Schieffer of CBS News' "Face the Nation" comes to mind. I have seen NOTHING in Santorum's words that say anything other than an intention to push a catholic agenda on what should be a secular democracy, which amounts to a first step in forcing a catholic theocracy on the United States.

This needs to come out, it needs to be made more public, and Santorum needs to be confronted with this to the point where he wishes he had never seen a television camera in his life.

Where is Henry VIII when you need him?

I can think of two.  Martin Bashir has made a point of Frothy's theocratic slant on everything he shoots his mouth off about and "Rev" Al has been on his case for some time for the same bullshit.  However, any reasonably well informed citizen with an IQ above their body temp could probably figure him out by just listening to him.  I know there are legions of women (liberal, indep. or conservative) that have a very dim view of Mr. Frothy and his Bronze Age view of women.

Rachel Maddow is also hitting hard at (In)Santorum ... but of course, she's with MSNBC and that bunch of left-wing nuts and besides she's a Lesbian and and and ... (groan) ... are you SURE it's not too early in the day for a scotch?

I'm going to start interacting more with our local Democratic Women organization.  Maybe I should freshen up my waxing first.

Good idea - you've probably been missing out a lot on the Democrat Orgy of Lust And Sensuality (DOLAS).

That sounds about right.  The best thing about it is I don't have to worry about awkward orgy moments, like running into family members.
